Quickly access System Properties in Windows 10 or Server 20165/5 (4)

Access to the System Properties dialog in Windows 10 and Server 2016 frustrates me when it used to be so easy to access. There are lots of routes to this familiar and useful screen, but I find this the easiest and fastest way:

Press Windows Key + R

Type sysdm.cpl

Click OK

If you want to make a shortcut to it on your desktop use the following path:

C:\Windows\System32\sysdm.cpl

Either method will get you quick access to your System Properties. I was writing a blog post on setting environment variables and it was annoying me having to go to such lengths to get to this screen.
